Aaron Rodgers is setting the record straight and refusing to let critics shape the story of his past romances. The NFL superstar addressed intense chatter regarding his dating history during a recent broadcast, firing back at claims that he was a nightmare to be with. Speaking candidly during Thursday's edition of the "Not Just Football" podcast, the quarterback confronted long-standing narratives about how he acted during his high-profile relationships. Rodgers made sure to directly address accusations concerning his conduct as a partner. ## What did Aaron Rodgers say about his past relationships? According to reports, the professional athlete held nothing back when evaluating the commentary surrounding his personal life. Rodgers aggressively dismantled claims that labeled him a "monster" in his former relationships, branding those bad-partner allegations as pure "horse s–t." The sharp defense comes after both actress Shailene Woodley and former professional race car driver Danica Patrick spoke out, bringing renewed focus to his past love life. Their recent comments sparked fresh media coverage and internet debate about the football star's previous romantic history. ## Did Aaron Rodgers date Shailene Woodley and Danica Patrick? Rodgers has famously dated several prominent public figures over the years. He shared a two-year relationship with Patrick before their breakup, and subsequently embarked on a high-profile engagement with Woodley that ended in an eventual split. Because both women are major stars in their own right, each relationship attracted massive public attention and ongoing media scrutiny. Despite the persistent tabloid headlines, Rodgers maintains that the critical descriptions of his behavior as a boyfriend are completely inaccurate. By addressing the claims directly on the podcast, the quarterback took a stand against external speculation surrounding his personal life. Rodgers made it clear that he will not tolerate false characterizations of his romantic past. While he remains one of the most talked-about figures in sports and entertainment, the quarterback insists the harsh claims about his romantic history have no basis in reality.

“I dated two women who nobody gives a f–k about unless they drop my name,” the NFL star said about Shailene Woodley and Danica Patrick (the latter seen above).
“They like to say their version of the history of what actually happened. I’m just like, this ‘monster’ of a partner, and it’s just f–king horse s–t,” he added. (Seen above: Woodley and Rodgers.)
Rodgers (seen here with Patrick) recalled dating Patrick around the time she retired in 2017.
“She was depressed and not fun to be around. But I didn’t leave her because I was trying to be there and be a good partner,” he said about the former pro race car driver (seen here).
Rodgers (seen here with Patrick) claimed there was no intimacy in their relationship and they split in 2021.
